Expressway by Eric FOLEY on April 19th, 2009

Been reading Sina Queyras’ new book Expressway this week, and am really inspired by the range of themes and emotions she’s able to encapsulate within 98 pages of poetics. Here’s a taste:

You can say, Calm. You can say, Slow. You can say, Enough. You can

say, Easy. You can say, Pine, and mean it. You can say, Polish and

breathe. You can use your tongue, and eye. You can check your pulse,

let your hair grow, take less. You can suck on peaches. You can walk.

You can read. You can let your mind wander. You can wonder. You

can eat words. You can reach out. You can wait for clean, or you can

make it so…

She also has an awesome blog called Lemon Hound.
